1. Great news! The @RBNHSFT "AMU Virtual Ward" is up and running again! (Previously known as the COVID Ambulatory Clinic.) Using the TICC-19 pathway some patients with confirmed or suspected COVID can be safely managed at home with remote monitoring. ticc19.com
To deal with the high volume of patients presenting to the ED it's necessary to triage patients effectively, and to have a robust way of identifying patients who are safe to go home and those needing observation: ticc19.com/clinicians #BeatCOVID19 #StayHomeSaveLives
The doctors behind TICC-19 were inspired by the #FOAMed spirit of collaboration to share knowledge to #BeatCOVID19 . Find out more about how this all started in Our Story: ticc19.com/resources
TICC-19 is a triage pathway for COVID-19 patients based on oxygen sats. Patients who can safely be discharged can be given a sats probe and followed up at home, creating a "virtual ward" in the community. Find out more: ticc19.com #BeatCOVID19
Kainat is one of our Physician Associates. It's her last day as she's going off on maternity leave today. Thank you for all your hard work in the virtual ward!

Thanks Ryan and Adam for helping us out in the Virtual Ward last week. Both are ED PAs who qualified in the first batch of PAs 3 years ago, and are really super clinicians (and were great fun to work with!) 👍 brilliant ED-AMU collaboration.

Well done @NICEComms for so rapidly modifying
nice.org.uk/guidance/ng159/r…
to enable patients to complete their DEXAMETHASONE treatment on COVID virtual wards. Ty also to members of the COVID pathways group for their expedient consideration.
Thank you Medical Move for so swiftly delivering medicines and sats probes to patients houses. We write prescriptions, RBH pharmacy and @LloydsPharmacy dispense meds, Medical Move couriers (below) arrive to deliver meds. Within an hour they're through the pts doors.

Great @GeriSoc blog from @adamgordon1978 on how #HospitalAtHome can improve outcomes for care home residents during COVID waves. Two trials for @UKHaHSoc members to support

"We need to keep developing preventative measures and treatments that modify the course of #COVID19 in older people with #frailty. We need every treatment possible in our armoury to protect this vulnerable group"

And here's the modified pathway for pregnant patients. Again we co-manage these patients with maternity. Great RBH collaboration.

So proud of the virtual ward team @ticc_19. Our efforts to manage COVID-19 patients in a remote ward setup throughout the pandemic and the data we’ve published have helped provide the evidence to change national policy! england.nhs.uk/coronavirus/p…

More AMU on tv would be great! Here's the @RBH_AMU Virtual Ward on ITV news. TICC-19 is a triage pathway for COVID developed @RBNHSFT, Reading which allows some pts to be sent home and managed remotely. We've managed >1000 pts remotely since March.

To improve patient care, we made a new video on how the #virtualward works and how to use a pulse oximeter aka sats probe! youtu.be/GLNa7ovGoWk
